Alright, so...
Before I begin with some new things I learnt about Hair care...I need to get stuff off my chest:
I am starting to lurve off:
These shorts, with tights though, cause i have a slight issue with showing skin..
Mineral Wash Jeans. Anyone feeling them like I do? No?
This girl's hair...
but i also like printed leggings, not those ones though.
Long sundresses are in....
Yay!..?
Well, i like to be covered, so .... yeah.
Just not to the ankles...thats a bit extra.

Anyways...
I think other people know this...but I just found out that CASTOR OIL encourages hair growth, and it was used with Almond oil by the Egyptians. I love those egyptians.
And since I love then and thier fabulous ideas...this whole post will be about them and thier awesome hair care ideas:
ROSEMARY OIL: Rosemary Oil is the modern oil commonly associated with stimulating hair growth. Rosemary is a common Mediterranean plant, and may very well have been familiar to some Egyptian doctors, although there's little evidence for its use. Interestingly, Rosemary has also been used at present to subtly darken hair and to bring out the highlights in darker hair.
CASTOR OIL: The following formula can be used to stimulate hair growth or merely to improve the texture and appearance of one's hair. Almond Oil and Castor Oil were among the vegetable oils used by the Egyptians. Castor Oil is frequently used in an attempt to encourage hair growth but it has a very viscous texture. Mixing it with the Sweet Almond Oil will improve the aroma and make the resulting oil smoother and more easily spread. However, if you wish to somewhat reproduce the stickiness and "tacky" feel of resin from the original formula, eliminate the Sweet Almond Oil and double the proportion of Castor. (which i do, cause i don't know where to find Almond oil)
Now this formula only got 2 and a half stars, but...you can still try it.

Scalp and Hair Stimulation Oil
One Teaspoon Sweet Almond Oil
One Teaspoon Castor Oil
10 Drops Essential Oil of Fir Needle (Abies spp)
OR Essential Oil of Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis)
Mix the Sweet Almond Oil together with the Castor Oil in a small bowl and then add no more than 10 drops of Essential Oil. Mix with your fingers and then rub vigorously into your scalp, concentrating on areas where hair is thinning.

How to Use Castor Oil to Treat Hair Loss
By eHow Health Editor
Rate: (32 Ratings)
Instructions
Difficulty: Easy
Things You’ll Need:
- Castor oil
- Cloth or towel
- Almond or grapeseed oil
Step1
Purchase a bottle of Castor oil from your local grocery store or pharmacy. Castor oil should be relatively easy to find as it is often used as an alternative to laxatives. Many people also use it to treat certain skin disorders.
Step2
Apply the Castor oil directly to your scalp and the roots of your hair. Don't rub the Castor oil through the rest of your hair, as it may be difficult to wash out due to its consistency. Smear the Castor oil around the top of your head so that it fully covers your scalp.
Step3
Wrap your hair with a cloth or clean towel and loosely tie it in place. Make sure the Castor oil in your hair is completely covered by the cloth or towel. Allow the Castor oil to sit on your hair overnight and immediately wash it out when you awaken the next day.
Step4
Repeat this Castor oil treatment about once a week. It will most likely take about 6 or 7 applications before you experience any noticeable results.
Step5
Try mixing Castor oil with lighter oils, such as almond or grapeseed oil. Castor oil is a thick oil and it may be time consuming to remove it from your hair if used alone. Combine it with other oils to lighten its density. In addition, Castor oil is scentless, so you may want to mix it with other substances, such as almond or rosemary credit paid: http://www.ehow.com/how_2119738_use-castor-oil-treat-hair.html
